As negotiations continue regarding the ongoing conflict, former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accelerate efforts toward a peace agreement with Russia. The call for quicker action comes amid increasing international discussion about the future of the war and potential diplomatic pathways forward.
Trump reportedly told Zelenskyy to “move it,” according to reports from France Info. The former president’s comments reflect his long-held view that a swift resolution to the conflict is crucial, though details of his specific proposals remain unclear.
Meanwhile, discussions are underway regarding potential negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, scheduled to accept place in Geneva on February 17 and 18, as announced by the Kremlin, according to Le Figaro. These talks represent a potential, though uncertain, opportunity to de-escalate the conflict.
The United States has also weighed in on the situation, with the U.S. Ambassador to NATO stating that Russia may not be prepared for peace in Ukraine, as reported by BFM. This assessment underscores the challenges facing diplomatic efforts and the potential for a prolonged conflict.
Washington has also issued warnings, while Paris has called for preparedness, according to Ouest-France. The development underscores growing regional tensions and the need for continued international vigilance.
Donald Trump, who served as the 45th and is currently the 47th President of the United States, has been a vocal commentator on the Ukraine conflict since leaving office, as detailed in his Wikipedia entry. His recent statements are likely to draw further attention to the debate over the best course of action in Ukraine. His disapproval rating has also recently reached a new record, according to MSN.
